The enterprising people of Reisterstowr

an institution could not fail of being great nc.
commodation to the business men and others Of

of those who undertake the enterprise.

1t is said that fully $4,000 people witnessed

people of Baltimore and surrounding country ap-
pear to have gone wild over the national game.

The UNION of May 2Sth announced the
sale of the Harper property, on the Falls road,
above Woodberry. The property was sold but
the price is stated to have been much over 5000
per acre, as announced at the time. The Maryland
Construction and Land Improvement Company
was not the purchaser.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Stansbury, eldest
daughter of the late William E. Stansbury, died
suddenly at the family residence, "Union Hal"
near Towsontown, on Monday evening last, of
heart disease. Miss Stansbury was to have been
married shortly to Mr.. Thomas H. Taylor, son Of
the late Wilkerson Taylor.
"A few days ago son of Mr.. Robert S.
Corse who lives on the Reisterstown road, 4th
district, caught large grounding in the garden
attached to the house. 1t is very unusual for
these animals to come so near human habitation
and it is thought this fellow was on the lookout
for something good to eat.
Mr.. VIM. E. Greenfield, who learned his
trade in Towsontown printing office and has for
several years held position in the Government
printing office, will be married in Washington, on
Wednesday evening next, to Miss Clara Brown,
daughter of Mr.. Thos. A. Brown, of that city.
Mr.. Greenfield lately graduated in law.
Over seven hundred people attended the
Children's Day services in Towsont0wn M. Z.
Church on Sunday night last. They came from
every direction and for many miles, showing the
great interest taken in the affair. Every inch of
space in the large auditorium was occupied, and
it was the largest and best behaved assembly
ever seen at any meeting in Towsontown.
Mr.. William Galloway, of Towsontown,
whose illness was announced in THE UNION last
week. died on Sunday morning, aged about 6S
years. His funeral took place from the M. E.
Church on Tuesday morning, and his remains
were inferred at St. James Church, My Lady's
Manor. His wife, who was formerly Mrs. Rich
ardson, of the 10th district, survives him.
Joseph Schumacher, member of the present
petit jury from the LIST district, was arrested on
Monday, and held to bail in the sum of 5000,
charged with assaulting Jos. Kingsley, ticket
agent of the BALTIC. & Potomac railroad at Fred
erck road station. 1t appears that Schumacher
insisted on boarding train without buying
ticket as required by the rules of the company,
and Kingsley tried to prevent him from doing so.
"A Towsontown lady who had been visiting
in Queen Anne's county, returned q few days ago
and gives very discouraging report of the havoc
made by the rose bugs on the peach and other
fruit trees in that county. These bugs swarm into
the orchards by the million and do not cease OPP
erations until they have cleaned up every green
thing. Such visitation was never known before
and the damage the insects have done is simply
incalculable.
The Belair Democrat of last week, in MOTTO
ing several important real estate sales the line
of the Maryland Central railroad, near the city,
says that these sales have "receved but little at
tention from either the city county press"
In this statement the Democrat does The UNION
an injustice. Every sale to which it refers was
announced in our columns several weeks ago and
THE UNION was the first paper to make them pub
lie. Brother STREET. should put on an.extra pair
of spectacles when he reads THE UNIONS local
columns.
1t is fact that editors can read almost any
kind of least they manage to make
out what the writers are trying to get at-but if
some people who write for The UNION would OBJ
serve little more care it would save the man who
handles their manuscript an endless amount of
trouble. Of course we do not expect correspon-
dents to write like professional penmen, but it
would be great help if they would write names
plainly spell words out in full, write only one
side of the paper, and on the lines if the paper is
ruled. If not ruled, write the lines far enough
apart to admit of interlineations and corrections,
and above all things, write with pen and ink. 1t
beats Chinese puzzle to read some manuscripts
scribbled with hard pencil on glazed or sized
paper. We shall feel greatly obliged to our cor
respondents if they will remember these things.
